Greg, It might be easier for you to call them. Just add 011-351 and the number. They will be 8 hours difference from you. It is not very expensive. I am also wondering if your family lived in the Funchal area. I believe that there are other Conservatorios, at least in Santa Cruz and Ponta do Sol. Others on the list might know more about that. I just know that for my father's birth certificate I have to go to Santa Cruz and not Funchal.

I will definitely write to a Conservatoria do Registo Civil. It will take me a little while to compose the letter since my command of Portuguese language is minimal...haha. This provides a good opportunity for me to practice. Do you know what background information they'll want to facilitate their search for the record? I have very very little information about the infant...no name, specific date of birth, or date of death. All I know is that he was about 6 months old when he died and that he was born in about 1929. I do know names and birthdates for his parents. Also, do you know what the charge will be and if they accept personal checks in U.S. dollars? I know they do at a Biblioteca Publica e Arquivo in Azores. Thank you, Christina. I appreciate your help!
